I found the overall event excellent. I felt all of the sessions (both plenary and seminar) were relevant to what I wished to get from attending. The display area was just right, not overpowering, and allowed for good networking.

The event was exceedingly well organised with a wide selection of high quality speakers, who provided concise and expert details of the subject matter.

This has become a must attend event if you are interested in hearing about the latest issues faced by both executive decision makers and front-line specialists in eDiscovery and eInvestigations. Real world corporate currency from those at the sharper end with solid analyses on present issues and where we are likely headed. A great place to network and meet up with those at the cutting edge of this digital frontier.

The e-Discovery and e-Investigations Forum is designed to meet the needs of key stakeholders and decision makers who are responsible for ensuring compliance with legal requirements, managing internal investigations and preparing for or responding to regulatory investigations and litigation events. The agenda provides strategic and technical advice, examples of best practice and practical case studies that detail how organisations can keep the costs of compliance to a minimum and ensure an efficient response to data requests from internal or external parties.

The results of the recent 'e-Disclosure 2020' survey that polled over 200 representatives of global business and legal services firms indicates that over 85% of IT and legal professionals believe, due to trends in their organisation, that there will be an increased requirement to retrieve targeted data related to individuals, actions, or events. The survey results further demonstrate that the majority of respondents agreed that:

•The main cause of inefficiency when trying to locate relevant data is that the methodology used returns a high volume of irrelevant records
•The main reasons for large volumes of irrelevant data being returned in searches is that data has not been consistently or adequately organised into clearly defined categories when saved or archived
•The technological trend of most concern in terms of ability to retrieve data is the storage of company data on web-based third-party servers
•The need to retrieve electronic data in cases of litigation, regulation or investigation will necessitate the creation of a new in-house function that manages all business processes that relate to data creation, storage and retrieval

The e-Discovery and e-Investigations Forum was hugely beneficial for me and my company. It was an excellent opportunity to share with and to listen to the experiences of representatives from other organisations learning to deal with the challenges of e-Discovery. The speakers offered fresh insights and global perspectives on the issue and the forum also provided an opportunity to meet and discuss with the major e-Discovery solution providers. I look forward to next year's forum.Archive Manager, AMEC plc
